Having trouble setting link order

I want to order the links listed on the sidebar of the blog by rating. Inside of the links manager when I change order to rank it shows the list properly but then when I look at the site it is still ordered by name.

Now that the link manager is gone and bookmark categories are being managed with the post categories, it appears to me as if there was no more way to edit the link order? It can't be a problem with the theme (I'm using Rubric, btw), since I had my links sorted before everything was changed into bookmarks.

Is it just me, have I just overlooked something, or is the "sort order" page really gone...?
